[Verse 1]
I shot John F. Kennedy in Dallas in '63
They blamed it on Oswald carelessly
But it was the devil in me
Put Jesus on the cross, I put a gag on the boss
I kissed him on the cheek so he couldn't speak
But that was the devil in me

[Chorus]
It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unlevelling me
Well, it was the devil in me

[Verse 2]
Well, I made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed
I made you cry, coulda madе you laugh instead
But that was the devil in mе
So I killed you off, I tore your famous blue raincoat
Laughed at your cough, ignored your suicide note
And that was the devil in me

[Chorus]
It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
Well, it's the devil in me that's unlevelling me
Well, it was the devil in me
[Verse 3]
Well, I blew up the bus, I started World War III
Hijacked a plane, killed Hussein, assassinated Salman Rushdie
And that was the devil in me
I'm sponsored by a company that I don't believe in
I advertise their things for cash, that ain't deceiving
No, that's just the devil in me

[Chorus]
It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
Well, it's the devil in me that's unlevelling me
Well, it was the devil in me

[Verse 4]
Well, I gave you acid rain
And I polluted the sea
And I covered your thoughts up
Yeah, with graffiti
Well, you could call me by my real name
Yeah, you could call me humanity
'Cause it all seems just like human behaviour
It all seems just like human behaviour
All seems like human behaviour to me
Put it down to the devil in me
[Chorus]
It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
Well, it's the devil in me makes me do these things
The devil in me makes me sing
Devil in me gave you a wedding ring
Put it down to the devil in me (Alright)
